Reviews for the Oppo A40

50% Oppo A40 review: Absurdly cheap, but for casual users only
Source: Tech Advisor English
The Oppo A40 is a solid budget phone. For a very low price of £129, it provides strong battery life, decent looks, and a usable main camera. But while its software is easy to use, the device is let down by its underpowered chip and RAM, which can often make things slow and laggy. Ultimately, this means that gamers should certainly stay away, as should anyone who needs a robust, responsive phone for work. Instead, it’s a decent budget model that would appeal to casual phone users. So if you’re someone who uses their phone mainly to do a bit of shopping, messaging/calling and social media, it would be a good buy, especially at its current, discounted price.
